“Thou shalt not travel to Mississippi” demand the governors of Washington, New York, and Vermont. Mississippi’s new legislation is believed to be mean spirited and discriminatory and thus these governors feel it is in their power to limit travel of their own citizenry.
Reminiscent of the big brother behavior of the Mayor of San Fransisco, who made similar demands of city employees banning travel to North Carolina, these governors are overstepping their authority.
The mayoral panties are all twisted up because North Carolina has passed legislation preventing anti-discrimination protection for lesbian, gay and transgender people thus nullifying a Charlotte ordinance that allowed for transgender bathroom use of the opposite gender.
City workers were banned by the Lee from “non-essential” travel to North Carolina, Truth and Action reports.
The Mississippi legislation is viewed as discriminatory against the LGBT community, yet in actuality it protects all citizens of Mississippi from government over reach by protecting “sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions of individuals, organizations and private associations.”
Citizens of Mississippi who hold religious convictions are given the freedom to exercise their faith without repudiation. Under this legislation, people of faith will be protected if they deny wedding services to same-sex couples. It also allows employers to take their religious beliefs to inform such work place values such as dress code and bathroom or locker access.
The legislation does not remove civil rights from any one group, but strengthens the First Amendment for all.
HEY !!! PUT GEORGIA ON YOUR LIST TOO !!!!
Nazi bastards.
Such b******t, and people are stupid enough to believe it.
I will go any damn place I feel like!
Who cares, if people are so open minded, then the people of MS have just as much right to their beliefs as anyone else!
uh,$#%&!@*them. Mississippi will be better off without them.
…….One State cannot ban you from traveling to another State , the Constitution guarantees us “Freedom of Travel and Freedom of Movement” so not only is this unconstitutional but actually really stupid !…..
Charlotte Rissler – Since when is any official allowed to restrict what a citizen does with their own private, Non-essential, travel time? What a bunch of control freaks!
Please add South Carolina and Alabama to your yankee travel bans. Thank you.
